The Vespiary Book Binding & Book Conservation

The work on the shed is going along swimmingly.  At this point, all four legs of the treated lumber foundation/frame are down and in place.  Next project is to level out the floor and get to work on the roof.  Our contractor was so enamored with the wabi-sabi-ness of the outside eastern wall, that she decided we should detach it (it was only hanging by a few nails, anyway) and flip it.  This way, I’ll have a nice weathered exposed wall and three regular drywall walls.  I love that we had this opportunity to get a great cross-section photo of the shed structure.

The dirt floor continues to produce weird detritus (which I’ll post up later), but the flipped wall itself had some kind of combination lock code.  I’m now convinced there is a safe buried somewhere on the premises bursting with dubloons.
